[Techtalk] rsync problem copying directory from local machine to server

[k.clair]

is anyone out there familiar with rsync? i sent this message to the
rsync list and have yet to get a response...

- 
- Hello,
- 
- I'm trying to populate a directory on a server from a local directory,
- but I'm running into the problem that rsync doesn't find any files to
- transfer.  I think maybe I'm missing something about how rsync works.
- 
- The command I'm using is:
- 
- rsync -vr --numeric-ids --dry-run / rsync.host.com::lvs_server_v1
- 
- (where rsync.host.com would be the real hostname of my rsync server)
- 
- then, the rsyncd.conf file on rsync.host.com has this module entry:
- 
- [lvs_server_v1]
-         path=/path/to/dir/lvs_server_v1
- 
- 
- The directory lvs_server_v1 on the server is empty - I'm trying to copy
- the contents of / on the local machine to that directory.
- 
- The output the I'm getting is:
- 
- [root at host src]# rsync -vr --numeric-ids --dry-run / rsync.host.com::lvs_server_v1 
- building file list ... [root at host src]#
- 
- In the rsync logs I see that a connection was made to the server from
- the local host.
- 
- Is there something that I'm doing wrong here?
- 
- thanks for any input,
- Kristina
